Project Paradigm:
The Boarding School Collective is a nationwide Australian organisation helping rural, regional and remote families discover boarding school opportunities for their children. Their mission is to break down barriers, challenge assumptions and make quality boarding school education accessible and clear.
Development Highlights
- Dynamic School Directory: Created filterable listings by state and school type for easy search and comparison.
- Event & Expo Registration: Integrated custom forms for families and schools to pre-register and manage upcoming expos.
- Content Management System: Enabled the client to easily update school listings, stories, and events without technical help.
- User Experience (UX) Design: Designed a clean layout with distinct paths for Families, Schools, and Sponsors, ensuring clarity and accessibility.
- Custom WordPress Development: Built a fully responsive and SEO-optimized WordPress website tailored for fast performance.
Key Advantages :
We designed a responsive, mobile-first layout ensuring rural users with potentially slower connections still get a smooth experience.
We developed a streamlined event-registration module, integrated with the existing CMS, so expo events can be added/edited quickly.
We created custom directory functionality: schools filterable by state, type (boys/girls/co-ed) and searchable by town/region — improving findability.
We implemented a blog/podcast section with stories and media, to build community and trust.
MS training provided so client team can update directories, events, stories without developer intervention.
Conclusion :
The new website for The Boarding School Collective is more than a brochure: it’s a fully functional platform connecting families, schools and sponsors in a meaningful way. With improved information architecture, dedicated audience paths, and a content-driven strategy, the site empowers rural and regional families to make informed decisions about boarding school. Whether they’re exploring options for their child, seeking to exhibit their school, or looking to partner as sponsors — the platform supports each journey with clarity and purpose.
